Re: Sharing My Music and Sound Effects - Over 1000 Tracks
 

Greetings Fellow Creatives!

I've had some questions about how to properly attribute me when using my music. It's super easy.

Let's say, for example, that you're using two of my tracks, "MIND BENDER" and "NETHERPLACE" in your project.

If you're using only my music (and not music by other artists) then you would attribute me like this:

Music by Eric Matyas
www.soundimage.org

(The reference to my website doesn't have to be an actual link.)

Now, let's say you're using those two tracks of mine AND music by another artist or artists. In this case, you need to identify my tracks so people know which ones are mine. So you need to attribute me like this:

"MIND BENDER"
"NETHERPLACE"
by Eric Matyas
www.soundimage.org

(Again, the reference to my website doesn't have to be an actual link.)

All of this information can be found on the attribution information page on my site:

https://soundimage.org/attribution-info/

There's also information about how to attribute me in other kinds of projects, like podcasts, theater productions, etc.

If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. My email address is on the homepage of my site.

Enjoy and keep creating! :-)

Well, I don't "toot my whistle" very often, but I have to say that I'm very proud of this so I thought I'd share:

Btw, if anyone needs some custom music created, just let me know...I'd love to help out! :-)

Greetings Fellow Creatives,

If you find my free music helpful, please consider making a small donation on my website to help support my efforts. I don't allow advertising on the site because I feel it would be distracting to my visitors so I pay for everything myself. Support from the community is literally what makes this possible. Thank you in advance! :-)

That said, this week's new free music tracks are:

Hi everyone,

As of this past week, the black and pink buttons on my site that take you to my higher-quality Ogg tracks and packs on Gumroad are not displaying properly nor are they working properly. I am working with my web hosting company to resolve the issue. In the meantime, please don’t use them.

You can still download my tracks freely in mp3 format. The links are under the players for each track.

If you need a particular track or pack in Ogg format, please email me and I’ll send you a direct link to it on Gumroad. My email address is on my homepage.

As always, please stay safe and keep creating. :-)

OGG vs. MP3 TRACKS

For those of you who need looping tracks, I would highly recommend using the Ogg versions of my tracks. Besides sounding richer, Ogg tracks loop better in game engines. The reason for this is that the MP3 encoding process sometimes discards a tiny amount of audio information at the looping point. This causes a noticeable audio gap when the track loops. Mp3 encoding doesn't do this every single time, but it does it enough to be annoying. Ogg encoding doesn't discard any audio information so tracks always loop seamlessly.

In terms of audio quality, the MP3 versions of my tracks do sound very good...that's because the synthesizers I use are all top-of-the-line and produce very high quality sound. Still, the Ogg versions sound even better...almost as good as the original WAV recordings right out of my synths...but are much smaller in file size. WAV files are enormous.

My recommendation is to use my MP3 tracks as placeholders and then replace them with my Ogg tracks once you've decided which music you want to use.

My premium Ogg music packs are here:
https://soundimage.org/ogg-music-packs-2/

You can also search for individual Ogg tracks on my Gumroad page. When doing so, make sure to include _ogg after each title because that's how the tracks are named.
